After the plant is harvested, the root is removed from the stem and leaves. These latter are thrown away or fed to livestock. The roots themselves are well-rinsed, then placed in a hot oven to dry completely, then they are ground into powder.

This powder, when mixed with water, creates a deliciously sweet, somewhat stimulating drink known as jalizza. Jalizza is much-beloved of the Viridese, who import tons of the stuff every year.
